Style / Fashion Wanna design the Atlanta Silverbacks' 2012 uniforms?
Posted by Marketa Nosalova on Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 3:09 PM
Even soccer needs art. The only professional soccer team in Atlanta, the Atlanta Silverbacks, is opening a contest for everyone and anyone to design the team's uniforms for the 2012 season.
No juries, no boards and no professionals will meddle with the outcomes; the winner will be selected based on the number of "likes" on the Silverbacks’ official Facebook page.
The uniform template can be downloaded from the Silverback's facebook page. Designs should be submitted via e-mail to contest@atlantasilverbacks.com. Beginning August 1 entries will be added to a photo album on the team’s Facebook page and let the "likes" battle begin.
Each of the five finalists from the Facebook battle fields will receive two season tickets for 2012. And the winner? Nothing less than a four-day, three-night trip to Bogotá, Colombia, where he or she can witness the idea turn to reality at the headquarters of the team's uniform manufacturer. The winner will be formally announced at halftime of the Silverbacks’ game on September 24.
